Remember the Black Cauldron animated movie from Disney? Released in 1985, the animated movie was the first to receive a PG rating, and the first to feature computer generated images. Unfortunately, the $44 million picture couldn’t recoup its cost, making only $21.3 million at the box office. So, it didn’t work as an animated movie, which is why Disney is now moving ahead with the Chronicles of Prydain as a live action series.
